Claim your belovedness (Henri Nouwen)


   It’s very important that the mystical life, which is the life of communion with God, is the life in which you hear a claim for yourself and your belovedness… What do I choose to live from?  Do I choose to live from the place where I constantly feel rejected, or do I choose to live from the place where I know I am the beloved of God?  That’s a choice, an inner choice, that is very hard to make.

--Henri Nouwen,
